Ariel Quartet & Orion Weiss
String quartet and piano at The Phillips Collection.
Phillips Music’s 86th season opens with highly anticipated debuts by Ariel Quartet and pianist Orion Weiss in a program that introduces the series’ themes of friendship and artistic exchange—ideas echoed throughout the museum’s 2026–27 special exhibitions. This Sunday Concert is on September 27, 2026 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. Purchase tickets here.
Grand Prize winner of the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, Ariel Quartet brings a history of deep musical connection, having formed when its members were teenagers. Joined by Weiss, an Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient and Gilmore Young Artist Award winner, they bring expressive depth to Johannes Brahms’s timeless first string quartet, Caroline Shaw’s luminous Blueprint, and Ernő Dohnányi’s lush Piano Quintet.
